Houston teen Morgan Coultress feared she’d never walk again.
She was injured 10 months ago in a bicycle accident and left unable to walk after damaging nerves in her spine.
Then, last month, Coultress tentatively took some steps - to surprise her boyfriend Tarik Garcia, who had come to pick her up for prom, who is overcome with emotion.
After spending time in hospital, Coultress began practising walking again with the aid of Garcia.
“Recently I managed to walk for four minutes by myself but I kept it a secret from Tarik because me and my mum planned a surprise for prom.
"Walking was so scary and so amazing at the same time."
Video filmed by Coutress's mother on prom night on April 28 shows her walking slowly and steadily to the front door towards Tarik.
"Omg! How did you do that?! You got me good!" says Tarik in the video.
